2022년 개정 교과과정상 민주시민교육의 의미와 민주주의 역사 활용 가능성

The 2022 revised curriculum pursues self-directed students with inclusivity and creativity in an ideal way. This is because, amid the advent of the 4th Industrial Revolution artificial intelligence era due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the climate crisis, a new change to a practical educational paradigm such as on-site acceptance, diversity, and student-customization of school education was required. However, the importance of democratic citizenship education, which intends to promote community self-discovery, awareness of social participation, and practice solidarity, has increased. This paper examines the contents of the 2022 revised curriculum from the perspective of democratic citizenship education and compares the history of student democracy, a characteristic of the region's historical culture, with the contents of the new curriculum as the subject of democratic citizenship education that can be conducted by the Gwangju Metropolitan Office of Education. To this end, I introduce the purpose of the revision and future talent appearance in the general overview of the 2022 revised curriculum announced by the Ministry of Education (2021), and analyzes the relationship between the four tasks and democratic citizenship education. In addition, I explore whether the Gwangju Metropolitan Office of Education can educate students in the history of participating in social issues in the Japanese colonial era independence movement and the post-liberation democratization movement in light of the 2022 revised curriculum. As a result, it is argued that the unique culture of the regional level can be the subject of democratic citizenship education necessary for the formation of students' community self.

Community-Led housing in the UK: Learning from Black British and migrant histories

How might Collaborative Housing be a space that creates support and opportunities for precarious migrants, or refugees? Where examples or initiatives do exist, what kinds of challenges, barriers and- indeed- opportunities may there be for developing stronger links? This conversation is an edited summary of a video interview between Melissa Fernández Arrigoitia and Claude Hendrickson, as part of the Migration and Collaborative Housing (MICOLL) project. Speaking about his life’s work in the community-led sector in Leeds in particular, Claude shows us how there are cycles to the migrant story that are repeating themselves today in the UK, but also opening towards more hopeful spaces of opportunity. Tracing the movement from the riots of the late 1970s and early 1980s, and the first Black Housing Associations to the Community Self Build Agency and, more recently, Community Housing hubs, his experience shows how community housing work across the UK is slowly moving towards more intersectional approaches that can, in many cases, challenge mainstream views towards migrants.

IDF21-0521 Peer Support for Diabetes Management in the Shanghai Integration Model Developed Community Capacity to Combat COVID-19

Background: The Shanghai Integration Model linking primary, specialty, and hospital care includes peer support to help individuals carry out daily management of their diabetes. Initial results from 9 Community Health Centers (CHCs) in Shanghai documented improvements in glycated hemoglobin and other clinical and quality-of-life measures. Expansion to 12 additional communities enlisted neighborhood committees and Community Self Management Groups as well as CHCs to host and promote PS activities. Planned implementation from May 2019 to May 2020 was, however, interrupted by COVID. During the pandemic, peer support for diabetes management was reduced but maintained through WeChat groups and individual contacts while peer leaders also emerged as dependable community partners in responding to COVID-19. Aim: Characterize how the pandemic revealed a broader benefit of the Shanghai Integration Model and peer support in the capacity they provided CHCs and communities to respond to COVID-19. Method: Descriptive and qualitative study of program developments and observed benefits based on structured interviews with key informants among CHC staff, and community and district-level public health officers. Routine documentation of program activities. Results: As part of the proactive, highly coordinated responses of the Chinese government and citizens and the people’s shared sense of duty, peer supporters took an important role in their communities in Shanghai. In initial months of strict lockdowns, peer support pivoted from in-person activities to digital and telephone support. In 9 of 12 communities, peer leaders formed online WeChat groups that became valuable sources both for sustaining diabetes management and responding to COVID. These WeChat groups facilitated clinic-to-patient communication, community peer support, healthy lifestyles, and disseminated credible information about COVID as well as about obtaining medications and clinical services for diabetes. Respondents to structured interviews indicated that peer leaders assisted in their communities in various ways, such as distributing publicity materials, bringing groceries and supplies to older adults who could not leave their buildings, and distributing face masks. Illustrative comments included “Our diabetes team members are not just an audience during the entire epidemic prevention process…they actually give full play to their power as volunteers” and, “The cohesion, the coordination, the willingness to help, and the activity are important factors of a group leader. Those group leaders have put incredible efforts into the prevention and control of the COVID-19 epidemic.” A district level public health officer added, “These group leaders also help in society…they were basically active in all types of social welfare activities.” In addition to serving others, the collaborative relationships cultivated with other organizations created a basis for supporting each other when “everyone was under great pressure. Both leaders and colleagues cared for and encouraged each other, which was consistent with the emotional support content in the peer support program.” Discussion: Beyond direct benefits with diabetes, integration of care such as through the Shanghai Integration Model, peer support, and collaboration with community groups as well as CHCs enhance community capacity to address other health challenges, including even the unprecedented threats provided by COVID-19 in China and worldwide.

Service inclusion: the role of disability identity in retail

PurposeThe purpose of this research is to explore the role of identity for consumers with disabilities in a retail context. Understanding disability identity is critical to ensuring inclusion in service environments. Despite the growing call to understand the role of identity in consumer services, research on disability identity and the impacts of identity on service inclusion remains minimal.Design/methodology/approachA qualitative methodology generated data through personal narratives from people with disabilities revealing deep insights into the complexity of identity in a fashion retail context.FindingsEmergent themes detail five consumer disability identities – authentic unique self, integrated self, community self, expressive self and practical self – seen when viewing service experiences from the perspective of people with lived experience of disability. Individual and collective agency also emerged as key themes that enable people with disabilities to feel a sense of inclusion.Originality/valueThis research explores the service experiences of people with disabilities in a retail context through a disability identity lens. The authors contribute to service literature by identifying five consumer disability identities that people with a disability adopt through their service experience and present a typology that demonstrates how each identity impacts on agency, with implications for service inclusion.

Harnessing Local and Transnational Communities in the Global Protection of Underwater Cultural Heritage

Abstract‘Communities’ – whether local, regional, or transnational – can provide an essential force in the protection of our global underwater cultural heritage (UCH). As an issue of low political concern, with its protection vulnerable to externalities and compliance weaknesses, UCH forms an ideal test case for exploring governance solutions without reliance on the state. It is also an area where communities are increasingly integrated within governance models. This article examines the theoretical justification for reducing reliance on top-down laws to protect natural and cultural heritage, exploring Ostromian arguments for greater community self- and co-regulation. Using this theoretical framework, it highlights numerous advantages of community-oriented governance in the management of a complex global concern, such as UCH protection, and underscores the role and importance of the appropriate design of meta-regulation in steering communities towards wider public objectives. The article also identifies where communities or ‘networks’ have provided important additional protection for UCH, and discusses further policy mechanisms – such as community buy-in, incentivization, and self-regulation – which could help to facilitate community-led governance in the future.

The financialization of community development: the role of social finance

Abstract Local community organisations, many of which began life as agents of community self defence and regeneration during a Post-Fordist era of massive job losses in the 1970s and 1980s, are now being transposed into low-cost deliverers of public services in competition with the private sector. More recently, this process increasingly involves injections of “social finance” from external private sources. This article offers a brief history of how the voluntary and community sector has been corralled into a marketized and financialized role where the primacy of business management replaces community need. As in other spheres, there has been a paradigm shift from Keynesian demand management to a neoliberal perspective of community and voluntary organizations’ role in society where they gradually replace the state—in many cases with their encouragement and willing participation. As third sector organizations deliver public services, private investors are rewarded on a payment per output basis. Three case studies show how financialization through external shareholder interests is becoming a force in public service delivery.

Systems of Food and Systems of Violence: An Intervention for the Special Issue on “Community Self Organisation, Sustainability and Resilience in Food Systems”

This intervention critiques the rationale which underpins the authority of the food system as a context for sustainability, resilience and self-organisation. We apply learning from embodied practice, in particular The Food Journey©, to demonstrate the existence of harm and trauma arising from the overrepresentation of the liberal model of Man as constituting the only reality of humanity. This model has, in reality been a colonial, capitalising force of violent dispossession. It is this context that has produced global circulations of agricultural produce, systematised by a colonialism which violates the integrity of all that it encounters as different. Colonialities of being, power and knowledge extract and exploit globally both people and places as legacies of colonialism and perpetuate an abyssal divide between worlds. We unsettle and reconfigure both geopolitical contemporary and historic accounts of food-related narratives. We do this to help reveal how the ‘food system’ is actually a mainly Euro-American-centred narrative of dispossession, presented as universal. We propose the use of decolonial tools that are pluriversal, ecological and embodied as a means of interrogating the present system design, including its academic and field practice. The embrace of decolonial tools have the potential to take us beyond mere emancipation, cutting through old definitions and understandings of how food sovereignty, farm production, land justice and food itself are understood and applied as concepts. The outcome—as a continuous process of engagement, learning and redefinition—can then lead us towards a relational pluriverse as an expression of freedom and full nourishment for all humans and for the Earth, which is, in itself, a necessary healing.

2164-PUB: Community Expansion of Peer Support for Diabetes Management in Shanghai

Peer support can be effective but dissemination is a challenge. In the context of the Shanghai Integration Model linking specialty/hospital with primary/community care, trained volunteer peer leaders (PLs) based in 9 Community Health Centers (CHCs) implemented peer support. Results included improved glycemic control and reduced BMI, diabetes distress and depression, each more pronounced among those with poorer baseline status. Benefit varied however according to CHCs’ ability to organize peer support. Dissemination needs to recruit additional agencies to support CHCs. Accordingly, a current phase includes additional government and citizen-led organizations in an additional 12 of Shanghai’s 240 communities. District-level and sub-district or community health staff work with each community’s CHC as well as citizen led Community Self Management Groups (> 5,000 in Shanghai) and government affiliated, local Residential Committees. Reports through regular monitoring and meetings with CHC and community staff during the first 8 months (May-December, 2019) indicate CHC and community staff work together in a complementary manner. CHC staff take responsibility for diabetes education (e.g., teaching 6 basic diabetes education modules) and designing activities. Community staff organize or facilitate activities, e.g., the 6 modules, cooking events, discussion groups, or recreational activities that provide a sense of solidarity among those with diabetes. District-level staff coordinate key responsibilities, integrate resources, organize large-scale activities, and train community level groups. Other community organizations include, e.g., an NGO in one district with extensive experience in community services. Across the 12 communities, an average of 6.33 PLs have been trained not including community groups that lead activities. Communities have held an average of 14.08 classes drawing from the 6 diabetes education modules. Disclosure Y. Liu: None. P.Y. Tang: Research Support; Self; Merck Foundation. Y. Qian: None. M.M.

Peer support in Shanghai's Commitment to diabetes and chronic disease self-management: program development, program expansion, and policy.

Identifying organizational settings for sustainable, scalable implementation of peer support (PS) is a challenge. Development, initial evaluation, and community expansion of PS for populations with diabetes staged in the context of the Shanghai Integration Model integrating primary and specialty care for diabetes. Development Phase with 9 Community Health Centers (CHCs) leading to Community Expansion Phase with additional 12 communities. Development Phase peer leaders (PLs) co-led meetings on diabetes management, led neighborhood activities, and followed up with individuals and families. Among 1,284 participants, changes in HbA1c, other clinical markers, and diabetes distress were significant (ps from 0.001 to 0.041), pronounced among those with elevated levels, for example, HbA1c reduction from 9.09% to 8.50% among those ≥8% at baseline (p < 0.001). Ratings of Implementation were associated with reduced HbA1c and diabetes distress and increased neighborhood support. In particular, linking with community resources and utilization of neighborhood Residential Committees were associated with improved HbA1c, indicating the value of PS programs including community resources. Thus, the Community Expansion Phase includes district- and community-level health staff, Community Self Management Groups, and Residential Committees along with CHCs in 12 communities, all of which have implemented activities during the first 6 months. PS programs are feasible and appear to add value among populations with diabetes in community settings such as Shanghai. Recognition by the Shanghai government has included PS as a key strategy for achieving self-management of chronic disease in its 2030 health goals.

Considerații privind „cultura filantropiei“ în ortodoxie

In the “Homage Year of the Pastoral Care of Parents and Children” and the “Commemorative Year of the Romanian Orthodox Philanthropists” we proposed a study on the “culture of philanthropy” in the Orthodox space, because we consider it closely related to pastoral care and education. The etymological meaning of the concept of philanthropy is very complex and simple at the same time. Its significance is: God’s love for people, but also a manifestation of people’s love for their fellow men, a virtue that every Christian should have. We owe to the Cappadocian Fathers (St. Basil the Great, St. Gregory of Nyssa, St. Gregory of Nazianzus), St. John Chrysostom – with the “Mystery (Sacrament) of the Brother”, the imposition in Orthodoxy of the idea that philanthropy is a model of to Christ, who loved men, the merciful being thus partaker of the divine philanthropy, for “No one has greater love than this, that he may lay down his soul for his friends” (Jn 5:13). Thus, the Orthodox Christian knows that “he who helps the poor, lends to God” (Proverbs 19:17), and the model of the Christian life is based on the words of our Lord Jesus Christ – “I give you a new commandment: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another” (Jn 13: 34-35). In time, a true “culture of philanthropy” was established in the Orthodox space – as His Beatitude Father Daniel, Patriarch of the Romanian Orthodox Church – observed which is the basis of communion in the Church through faith, and in society, through education. The promoter of the values of this culture is undoubtedly the priest, about whose mission Metropolitan Antonie Plamadeala wrote that “it is a divine command”. At the same time, Father Dumitru Staniloae establishes interdependencies between the concepts of communion, love, sacrifice, philanthropy, generosity, race, identity,dignity. In the history of Romanians, Orthodox spirituality, based on the “culture of philanthropy”, made possible a rich philanthropic activity that had several hierarchs of the Orthodox Church, rulers and boyars, who understood that Christian freedom implies responsibility to others. Let us not forget the institutional philanthropic activity of the Church, which is “a community self in Christ” (Fr. Dumitru Staniloae), brutally interrupted for almost half a century, with the installation of the communist regime (1946-1989), but resumed immediately after his fall. At present, the pastoral care of parents and children can pass on, over generations, the values of the “culture of philanthropy”, which should not be confused or replaced with modern practices of social assistance, the latter being more a strictly professional form of helping each other often without real personal involvement.

The Relationship of Sense of Community and Trust to Hope.

Settings that that have ecological variables that instill hope might be particularly effective for treating individuals with substance use disorders. More specifically, trust and sense of community could be of importance in the fostering of hope among individuals in recovery from substance use disorders. Our study included a sample of individuals who were living in or had lived in Oxford House recovery homes. We found both sense of community and trust are ecological aspects of settings that had important influences on hope, as an engaged individual tends to value trust relationships. Perceptions of the house operating effectively was positively related to an individual's assessment of the house as a good setting, but the house was not perceived to be as effective when the residents were not invested in the setting. The sense of community Self factor was the best predictor of hope, suggesting that an individual's personal investment in their house community are related to their hopefulness in terms of goal attainment and opportunities. Associations of hopefulness, personal commitment, and a supportive ecology provide evidence that an individual's perspective on recovery encompasses personal, environmental, and temporal perceptions.
